Denial of the possibility of refund of Value Added Tax from the Government of the Host State.

Legal Principle(s)

The reiteration of an administrative decision, when repeatedly questioned by the staff member, does not reset the clock with respect to the statutory timelines for contesting the decision. The deadline starts from the date on which the staff member was notified of the original decision.
